“Please Say Something” is a groundbreaking contemporary 3D animated short film by Irish filmmaker David O’Reilly. Currently being shown at The Sundance Film Festival, this ten-minute masterpiece firmly establishes O’Reilly as one of the most exciting and inventive young animators working today. “Please Say Something” won the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival and the prestigious Cartoon d’Or 2009 for Best European Animated Short Film. The film, set in the far-off future, is the story of a difficult relationship between a very emotional cat and her husband, a mouse. The raft of marital crises is shown in a jigsaw-like puzzle of 23 distinct episodes, lasting 25 seconds each, which O’Reilly describes as a “30-Second Breakneck Heartbreak Uncut Turbodrama.” The film presents a very humane story, with characters who can make you laugh and feel sad at the same time

This piece presents a number of illustrations from the film, a slide show and the animated short, “Please Say Something.”
